50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Hartsdale

“I almost forgot about this spot but remembered it from when I trained at the martial arts gym down the street. I saw the other reviews raved about the food and the impressive menu for such a little spot so I decided to stop in for lunch. Very delicious indeed and the fish was rather fresh and clean tasting. They offer a decently priced menu full of Japanese favorites including cooked dishes if you are not a sushi fan. I opted for a traditional tuna maki roll and a spicy tuna roll as apart of the lunch special. Both were so tasty I ended up ordering another roll to go and the crispy rice. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and traditional decor, very bright and clean looking. Sometimes these restaurants these days can get a little too funky with the decor so they made a proper choice maintaining simplicity. I see they deliver so I will definitely be ordering again when I am not in the area.“

“One of the best Ramen Bars I’ve ever been to. The flavors across the menu are unreal. The Spicy Miso Ramen w/ Pork Belly in particular was one of the best soup broths I’ve ever tasted. The service staff could not have been more friendly and courteous. The quaint setting and atmosphere lend themselves to almost feel like sitting at one big family style dinner table.“

“The kids loved it and they even ate“

“Món ăn Nhật Bản ngon nhất tôi từng nếm thử. Tôi rất khuyến khích. Best japanese food I have ever tasted. I highly recommend.“

“First time in this town, so I stopped by to try their noodles.
I highly recommend it! The chili oil really takes it to another level — the flavor is absolutely amazing.
Couldn’t wait to leave a review and tell everyone: this is a hidden gem of a restaurant!“

“The Umami Bomb is exactly that. the bomb (1990). So good back to pre-pandemic portions and tasty ingredients. Thank God you exist.“

“Truly amazing family owned restaurant where they actually care about what they’re doing. The food quality for the price is just unbeatable and they always add a personalized cherry on top of each order. It may seem a bit chaotic at peak times, it’s just because they are not the extremely commercial NYC restaurant that is designed to serve thousands of people simultaneously.“

“I chose the sushi deluxe, and I guess it’s similar to an omakase style. They told me it would be 9 pieces with one roll, and honestly, all the selections were great. The fish was very fresh and high quality. I was also really impressed by their service.

My friend and I were deep in conversation and lost track of time, but they never rushed us to leave. I will definitely be coming back and will make a reservation next time (we were lucky to get seats with no wait just by walking in)!“

“I don’t know about the rest of you all, but this is by far, the best Japanese Cuisine place in the Area. Some of the best items from their menu The Angry Dragon Sushi, The Shrimp tempura, and the Spicy Salmon rolls.

Also try the gyoza and the amazing Kani salad (regular or spicy)

Also the presentation is outstanding, and don’t forget to try their amazing Thai ice Tea which is homemade. 100% recommended. 🫶🏻

PS: ask for their Fried Oreo Dessert, you won’t regret it😊“

“Always delicious & enjoyable. My ‘go to’ place when friends come to town.“

“Had the Omakase Style yesterday. Was amazing. Highly recommend this place“

“Best Sushi in Yonkers. All the rolls are absolutely fresh and decadent. The quesadillas are excellent as well. A fun mix of Sushi & Mexican. A must go to if ever in Yonkers. I even dare say it is the best sushi in the Bronx. They are located less than 1/3 of a mile from the Bronx border and they deliver to the surrounding neighborhood in the Bronx. The guy who took our order is very amicable. The sushi chef prepares the rolls right in front of you. It was a great experience.“

“I love to eat here and my favorite dish is Pork/chicken Katsu. Always fresh and crunchy,
They cook the best katsu/curry sauce. They cook daily and it is a rich sauce with veggies and meat. Family cooking style. Simple and delicious! Thank you !“

“I love it!! And the place is clean“

“Came here to eat in New Year’s Day. Miso soup was so good. We ordered many hand yolks between two people. There was one tool I didn’t like too much I can’t remember the name now but all the rest were fresh and delicious.
They even gave us a cute ice cream dessert“

“Excellent! Everything is always amazing! Great friendly staff. I live down the street and they remember my preferences and are overly accommodating.“

“Sushi was wonderful and the staff was attentive and knew what to recommend.“

“I found this restaurant randomly while running errands, I've lived in the Bronx for 8 years now and this is by far the best pad thai I've had in all of New York. The pad thai was so flavorful and I got the beef with it. I also ordered a passion fruit iced tea and it was the perfect refreshment in this 100 degree weather. I've been seeing the mango sticky rice on TikTok recently and I was happy to see on the menu they also had Mango with sticky rice, which was packed with flavors as well. Will definitely be ordering from here more frequently.“

“Big portions, fresh food, and very nice service. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. Everything came out quickly, and the sushi was fresh and delicious. Definitely a great spot if you want good quality food with generous portions. Will come back again!“

“It is clean, balanced portions of food, I had the combo shrimp & filet mignon steak, very good at reasonable $, I think it's ,the best combo! including miso soup & choice of ice cream,I had Pistachios with marischino cherries. overall great 👍 thumbs up!“

“Great food, wonderful drinks and a fabulous atmosphere✨️❤️“

“I had such a wonderful experience at this sushi restaurant. The atmosphere is calm and tranquil, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. Located right on Main Street in Franklin and Nyack, it’s convenient and welcoming from the moment you walk in.
The sushi itself is outstanding — incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The rolls are not only delicious but also creative, with unique combinations that really stand out. Every bite tasted like it was crafted with care and attention to detail.
If you’re looking for a spot with a peaceful vibe and absolutely top-notch sushi, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is the place if you want authentic, high quality, Japanese food. The small dishes on the separate menu are really delightful.

Prices reflect food quality. Be prepared to pay for the best all around Japanese food in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

They run it like fine dining, not like a casual sushi bar. So they have strict rules around noise, noisy kids, and cell phones. Don't expect to bring your kid and set him up with an ipad with the volume on. Seems reasonable. No outside food, no exceptions. Seems reasonable.

The servers were polite, no issues in this department.

A real gem of a restaurant.“

“Great atmosphere friendly great food fresh very pleasant👌👍“

“The service has always been top notch. Attentative and informative staff has been the hallmark of this restaurant for all the years I've been eating here.

The food has always been excellent. Beautiful too the eye, and yummy to the taste buds. Specials are made with add much care as the regular menu items.
Special occasions are honored. And school class trips to Osaka leave the kids thrilled to go back with their families.
John, the owner, and his staff are a joy to be around. Training is clearly taken seriously. And the staff genuinely take pride in giving guests a really nice meal and experience.“

“We ordered a party platter, and it’s absolutely amazing.
The quality of the sushi and rolls is excellent—fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced.
It’s the perfect lunch for our family of four.
Both the kids and the adults were very happy with the meal.
I’ll definitely be ordering again soon. 🍣✨“

“We’ve been here many times, and the service is always excellent. It’s a great spot to visit, especially if someone in the group isn’t a fan of seafood. Although it’s a seafood restaurant, they offer a variety of delicious Korean dishes. Our favorites are 김치찌개, 돈까스, and 한치회무침—which almost tastes like 물회, just without the soup. All the rolls are fantastic as well. Highly recommend!“

“It’s a tradition in my family!! We always have the best time. It’s local and the people make it special. They were all awesome to my Granddaughter . I’m a customer and a fan.“

“First time trying Buddha takeout the crispy orange chicken was delicious had the perfect balance of tanginess and sweetness this will be my To go spot for takeout from now on! Edamame is just edamame but the moment I opened the lid for the crispy orange chicken the smell was so aromatic !“

“Nice I’m environment great aromas and wonderful food is nice place to just enjoy a decent meal“

“My go to for Japanese Cuisine. They are the best, they are consistent, they are quick, they have amazing prices, and they are personable/friendly. Can’t ask for better!!! Everything is always fresh & even their combination plates are fresh and delicious. As long as I live in New Rochelle, they will be the ones to satisfy my taste for sushi!🩷 Thank you Kiku Family“

“Tokyo Japanese restaurant not the largest place but the food far outdose any other local Japanese restaurant, , friendly service . Great prices. Not much more you can ask for.“

“This place is CRIMINALLY underrated! The food tastes fresher than any of the other Chinese food places in the area, the staff are so friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is rather cozy. Would highly recommend and will most definitely be returning.“

“Awesome food and service. Nice atmosphere. nice bar upon entry“

“I have consistently ordered sushi from this place and it has never let me down. I live on McLean and I’ve tried so many other sushi spots, but nothing does it as good as TOMO. Honestly there’s no reason for me writing this review besides sitting in my living room thinking “there’s nothing better than this” and feeling like other people need to know too.“
